Case Study: City of Turku protects Turku Castle artifacts with March Networks video surveillance

City of Turku cuts incident investigations to less than a minute with March Networks

The City of Turku, responsible for the historic Turku Castle, faced a significant security challenge after vandals damaged valuable artwork in 2008. Their existing, limited analog video system was insufficient for protecting the large museum's many rooms and artifacts. To address this, they worked with vendor March Networks to implement a modern video surveillance solution.

March Networks implemented a server-based system powered by its Command Professional video management software. The solution integrated with existing IP cameras to provide reliable, high-quality video surveillance. The result was a dramatically improved security posture; staff can now investigate incidents in less than a minute instead of hours. The system also integrates with wireless infrared alerts, allowing guards to quickly assess situations. Since the upgrade, the castle has been protected from serious incidents despite high visitor traffic.
